Description Jonas Nyman 2006-03-28 18:04:11 EST

Description of problem: The calculator in FC5; gcalctool, galculator or
gdeskcal, whatever it's called... Can not handle complex numbers. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to calculate sqrt(-9) or (1+i)*(2-2i)...
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
It is impossible to even type complex numbers in the calc.

Expected results:
3i and 4 respectively

Additional info:
The calculator uses the incorrect "inverted sine", "inverted cosine" when it
actually means "arcus sinus" and "arcus cosinus"... But that's another story.

Comment 1 Tomas Mraz 2006-03-29 02:03:10 EST

galculator is Fedora Extras package which doesn't support complex numbers. But
this is not a place to report such enhancement request, please report it
upstream (galculator.sourceforge.net).

gcalctool is a completely different calculator package which is a part of
standard Gnome installation.
